Sabbath is a set aside day every week all year long, but I am attempting a reset this summer.
I am starting with just the Sundays in the summer to be more intentional about rest with the hope to continue a new rhythm.
I need to reconsider what it looks like in this season of life with small people.
A book I recently read asked you to rank your contentment with "work, love, health and play" in your life. Play was defined as "done just for fun" and I ranked the lowest on it. Another book I just finished spoke of sabbath as "desirable instead of deprivation".
I believe that Sabbath is a gift but also a necessity. It is evident on a daily basis that these bodies we inhabit were created to require rest.
This Sunday we went to Cambridge with the purposes of play and rest.
I marveled at how two year olds don't need any instruction on how to play (though often need assistance with rest).
And my sabbath joy was multiplied by the delight of these four people I love.
